 yet the burden of _getting_ that information is so onerous that all other
competitor products to webkit have just gone "fine - let's just make it
available".

 do you accept this?

 or do you consider it reasonable to impose a massive development burden onto
webkit developers, when it would be so incredibly easy to make their lives much
much easier?

 do you accept this?

 for the record - for archival purposes and so that people can see in the
future why it was not added, and to whom they need to address their concerns -
please state yes or no to each of the two questions, above.
